question. In order to use the procmail command from a user status don't
you need to call it from your .forward? and if so can someone send me an
example script.
This probably is a FAQ. Maybe another newbie shouldn't be answering it.
But I'm gonna do it anyway....
One of the man pages that comes with procmailhas just such an example.
type this:
man procmail
If you see a man page, note the first sentence after "DESCRIPTION"
If you do not see a man page, do (with suitable substitution):
export PROCMAIL_DIST="/the/directory/where/you/unpacked/procmail"
PROCMAIL_MAN="`find $PROCMAIL_DIST -name man -print`
export MANPATH="$MANPATH:$PROCMAIL_MAN"
man procmail
